Clyde Drexler: Everybody On The Dream Team Felt Sorry For Magic

Windex · 06-27-2012, 06:20 AM

Quote:

"Magic was always..." And Drexler goes into a decent Magic impression: "'Come on, Clyde, come on, Clyde, get with me, get with me,' and making all that noise. And, really, he couldn't play much by that time. He couldn't guard his shadow."

"But you have to have to understand what was going on then. Everybody kept waiting for Magic to die. Every time he'd run up the court everybody would feel sorry for the guy, and he'd get all that benefit of the doubt. Magic came across like, 'All this is my stuff.' Really? Get outta here, dude. He was on the declining end of his career."

Drexler had played exquisitely in the 1992 All-Star Game in Orlando, although the MVP award eventually went to Magic, who had been added by Commissioner Stern as a special thirteenth player to the Western Conference roster. "If we all knew Magic was going to live this long, I would've gotten the MVP of that game, and Magic probably wouldn't have made the Olympic team."

actually i've been thinking about this and it's slightly funny. It's like Clyde's quote is out of a Tarrentino movie or something. Am i the only one that sees the humour?

Why in God's name would Clyde say something like this?

The All-star game is one thing... but it certainly seemed as though Magic still had a lot of game when he played for the Dream Team.

Clyde handled Magic. Blazers used to beat the snot outta the Lakers.
